I would love to say really really good things about this place because it has real potential; but it did fall short. The saving grace was my husband had a GREAT time golfing.

My room smelled like smoke when I arrived. They kindly and quickly changed my room-no harm, no foul. I needed them to remove the down bedding-they addressed this quickly. It all fell down with the spa experience. The changing room was really nice and stocked with nice amenities. The massage was average-not great, not the worst. The plus was they had eucalyptus oil to help with my congestion. The staff in the quiet room was friendly. However, there were old cups scattered about-the room should be monitored regularly for cleanliness. They used plastic cups which was surprising considering how upscale the spa appeared to be-use glass. Better for the environment and more economical. And they had a fireplace but it was "broken"?!? The room was chilly and the fireplace would have really added to the ambiance. The final kick was with the bill-outrageous considering a 50 minutes couples massage was included in my package. I should have been paying only for an upgrade to 75 minutes and a gratuity. The tag was so high I lost my post massage glow. Fast forward to the next day-when I checked out, I found out my bill had not been credited correctly. My friends who joined me experienced the same problem--between our two rooms we were charged over $1200 for 2-75 minute couples massages. It took 30 minutes on site and a phone call to rectify the mess.

We next went to On the Potomac for dinner. Raun the bartender greeted us warmly and helped us all choose a wine for the evening. Then the wheels fell off the bus. The restaurant was not busy. The waiter took his time greeting us. It took 20 minutes for him to take our drink order. 30 minutes for bread. 45 minutes for appetizers and over an hour for our main course. This was enough time for the guests to leave from the table behind us, it was reset, another group came, and surprise, their food came practically the same time as ours. We ordered lobster tails and were informed they were out, and we'd received lobster claws instead. We weren't served that, we were given what looked to be a half a lobster tail a piece. We informed the manager of the slowness and of the lobster, he offers to give us the "tails" for free. But the slowness continued, the food was cold, and then we were charged for food we never received. At that point my husband was livid. He pulled aside the manager again and he took care of the bill for us. We were so disgusted we turned down the free dessert offer and went to our room. It was so late in the evening at that point we couldn't even do anything else.

The next day I went to the clubhouse and order a martini and truffle fries. The fries never came. I'd understand if the place were busy, but it wasn't. There were only four of us sitting there at the bar. Come on, really?!?

So when you put all those things together you see why it was just okay. The golfing was great. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast. Like I said, Raun gave impeccable service. And Kristen at the front desk did a great job cleaning up the spa's mess with the bill. But it was an anniversary present that my girlfriend and I were giving to our husbands and it just turned out to be real hassle. Too bad really, this place has a lot of potential.

Very nice resort. Ask for a corner king room, quiet and huge. Bed was very comfy! Beautifully decorated. Room safe (love those) Robes provided. Very clean room and bathroom. They provide towels for the pools, spas etc, so no need to pack those. Good health club faciliites with new machines. Lockers available in Health Club. Several pools outside and one pool inside. Spa Minerale located on the property. Golf and 4 restaurants. The views from the back terraces are excellent, very calm and quiet while we were there. Would definitely return.

This is primarily a wedding destination. They had like five or six when I stayed there. That's how I got suckered into staying here. The scenery is pretty and they seem to have some nicely decorated restaurants. The food served at the wedding reception was good. The room was decent. Nothing to write home about. The bed was very hard. The most annoying thing was the housekeeping staff kept letting doors slam when leaving rooms. It would shake the walls it was so loud. Very disrespectful. One plus is they had really fast elevators. Not sure that means anything, but I noticed it. Maybe this would be a good place for a golf weekend, but I won't stay here again.

We spent one night at this property when a late arrival from Tokyo caused us to miss our onward flight. We did not use any of the hotel's facilities. It appears to be a higher end facility: well maintained overall, and our room was spotless. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I called the day before arrival for a family members funeral. The reservation clerk went above and beyond to help my family through a difficult time. Hotel is in a quite peaceful setting, well appointed clean rooms and fantastic staff! Highly recommend!
